<dc:description xml:lang="es">Sumario: This paper analyzes the impact of the age structure of the population on the household saving rate using time-series data for Japan for the 19552019 period. It finds a cointegrating relationship between Japan's household saving rate and its dependency ratio, with the latter having a negative and statistically significant impact on the former. This suggests that the life-cycle model applies in Japan, explaining the downward trend in saving rates since the mid-1970s due to population aging. The study projects that further aging will lead to negative saving rates in the future. Policy implications include the need to address saving shortages and potential economic challenges arising from demographic shifts.</dc:description>
